Change of scenery/routine ???

Hello Red. A change of scenery and routine always made me wonders on me. I have to say that when possible I always spend the weekends and holidays in different places and I always return a better person. The only obstacle for more get aways is money...

Relaxation, Health and Lifestyle.....
 
I have taken the initiative and made some positive changes to my lifestyle this week...I felt like I was stagnating and like my life was suffocating me.. so I started a new routine this past week.
I get up around 5am every morning so I have decided to do something healthy first thing in the morning..I am now getting in my car and driving to places that are very scenic in the morning for a early morning walk..This has really helped my mood not to mention my health. My blood pressure is now in the 120's without meds..and I am hoping to lose some weight too....
This has been a great change for me...I feel like I am living and breathing again...I am now looking forward to tomarrow.

Hi everyone, I just came back from a well needed vacation at the beach for a week, It was great, no panic and only a small amount of anxiety, felt the best I felt in about 6 months, distractions and keeping busy was great for my constant anxiety, but I  found not to be too busy and on the go, because being tired and trying to force myself to go out instead of resting, let anxiety feelings start to creep into my brain again.  hope everyone is doing well!  peace..... jaybe

Red, 
I was just thinking about this. Ever since I've been more agoraphobic, the things I do and the places I go have been the same and I follow the same routine that it feels like it's been just one big day when it's been a few years now. I hadn't gone out for a walk for a while and so I did that today... it was refreshing.

There's a book by a canadian physician called "Get Away" which promotes vacationing...hope I can dig it up!

Davit,
 
Thanks for the idea..I will give it a try..This could help me get out of the rut I find myself in lately and make life a little more interesting...It is definitely time for change of some kind..

Red.

There is that old saying, "a change is as good as a holiday" Truth of the matter is both are going to have some stress but both work as distractions. I like to change my routine within the greater routine. That way I still know where I am but don't feel stagnant. I still have a routine but feel like I'm not doing the same thing all the time.

Does anyone else here feel like they need a change of scenery or maybe a change of routine? 
I remember my mother once saying that she thought a change of scenery would do me some good !!!
 
This is something I have been thinking a lot about lately...A change of scenery or routine that is..
 
How about you??
